well the race was fun, good course and some bits where just pants.. the last grass section back over the field was horrible..just bumpy rutted grass mounds...

the start was fun massive gang fuck at first narrow entrance to single track, then again at the first technical up hill section... sort of went over a huge pile of builders rubble then up a hill, major offs at the next section as hill was steep and most in wrong gear... big down hill part was closed off first lap, so had the B line to do.. ( B line was faster and left with teeth in mouth as well.. steep entrance to A line with small run off area) oh and they put a wooded pallet in the track to slow you a bit.. WTF!!!, next section was just fun single track through the trees, up and down up and down... a nice log to jump over (good passing point and used it a few times for this) then out onto hard standing and very loose gravel... more steep banks to get up (a few went up then came back down still attached to bike LOL) followed by more rutted hard packed grass areas...

Came in 59th place so not a bad start to the first race i've done this year.. total riders was 95 in this category...

Bob, think i see you riding back to your van at the end.. looked like you had a cool box slung over your shoulder... I would of said hi but i was enjoying a rather nice large 99 ice cream...

all in did the allotted 3 laps and not passed by the leaders.. last lap I was getting into a good racing rhythm... enjoyed the sunshine and dusty course... and a big turnout here as well...
